My name is Emma and I am a freshman in the class of 2014. I can sound like the Orbit lady, and I enjoy quilting. I have many goals, i would like to do well in school, spend more time with my family, keep in touch with my friends, and continue my education into college.

I have some goals that I would like to achieve in my freshman year. In E.D.A. I have Mrs. Faulconer, and I want to learn more about computers, because I can’t do a lot of things with them. In art I have Mr. Frazier and I want to become a better drawer because the only thing I can draw that is pretty is a flower. In biology, I have Mr. Duston, and I would like to learn more about how the human body works. In geography, I have Mr. Prewitt, and I want to know how to accurately read a map. emmaw-p7-goals-1011-brainstorm.jpgMr. Kellogg is my geometry teacher, and I want to get an A all year in that class because I know I can. In P.E. I have Mrs. Stevens, and I want to pass the fitness test at the end of the year and be able to do push-ups. In English, Mr. Geib is my teacher, and I want to read good books. I want to get a 4.0 all through high school. After high school, I want to go to U.S.C, Pepperdine, or A.P.U. and become a teacher.

Next, I’ll talk about the goals I have for my family. I would like to be nicer to my brother Liam, like not react to him when he calls me names, or when he blames me for things that I had no part of. For once, I would like to actually get along nicely with him for a day, like not get so fed up with him that I want to rip his nose off. I would also like to spend more time with my family. One of the things I would like to do with my family would be to go on a bike ride. Also, I would enjoy spending the day with them somewhere, like a vacation for jsut a day.

Now I’m going to talk about my friends. I want to keep in touch with my friends at other schools, Katie, Morgan, and Emily. I want to stay friends with them all through high school, and even after high school. Also, I would like to make new friends, maybe a few from each class. Some of my new friends are Maddy S. and Daysi P. One of my goals is to be more optimistic. I call myself an “Optimistic-Pessimist.” I am a pessimist, and look at the glass as half empty, but I am occasionally optimistic, and look at the glass as half full.

I have a few goals for P.E. I would like to do well in Mrs. Steven’s 6th period class. I would like to have fun during P.E. at the YMCA. Also, I would like to become better at running. Last, I hate P.E. with a burning passion, and I want it so go die in a hole. I hate it because in P.E, we have to do stuff like running, and pushups, both which I cannot do.

In my 9th grade year, I would like to get a 4.0 all year, like reading, improve my drawing skills, and do well in P.E. Also, I would like to get along with my brother, and spend more time with my family. Additionally, keeping in touch with my friends from middle school is important to me, and making new friends this year. Now you know all about my goals for this year.:)
